Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly, and a sudden gust of wind blew her hair, the silver strands brushing against her fair cheeks.

Perhaps even the wind thinks Gu Yuena is right.

Or perhaps Di Tian and the others also wanted to agree.

Then she looked at Qian Renshang's profile, which still carried a somber expression:
Self-blame and regret cannot change the established facts.

If they have spirits in heaven, they would certainly not want to see you forever carrying this burden.

"They place their strength and hope in you because they believe you can do it. What they failed to do."

Gu Yuena's voice gradually gained a hint of strength.
"Bearing their will, keep going, go high enough to change these cruel rules."
High enough to protect everything you want to protect... that's the best tribute to them, and the true meaning of our... revenge.

The wind picked up again.

This time, the wind also blew up Qian Renshang's golden hair, brushing against his face.

It must be that Di Tian and the others have returned, and they are agreeing with it.

Qian Renshang listened in a daze, his clenched fist slowly loosening.

He looked at the dark red eighth spirit ring again, and the self-blame and sorrow in his eyes were gradually replaced by a more determined light.

Yes, dwelling on the past is pointless.

What the Red King and his companions gave their lives for was not a shackle that would forever bind him in guilt, but the strength to keep moving forward.

He took a deep breath, put away his eighth spirit ring, and the gloomy aura around him dissipated.

He turned to look at Gu Yuena, his golden eyes regaining their former sharpness and fighting spirit.

Although the pain still lingers deep within, I am no longer bound by it.

"You're right." His voice was low, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
"Let's carry their share and move forward together."

As Gu Yuena watched him regain his spirits, a barely perceptible hint of relief flickered deep in her eyes.

She nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Some wounds need no words; mutual understanding is enough. The two stood side by side on the shore of the Lake of Life, gazing at the waters that held so many memories and sorrows.

The Lake of Life remained tranquil, reflecting the two figures.

Gu Yuena and Qian Renshang exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's thoughts.

It's time to get down to business.

Then, Gu Yuena's gaze narrowed slightly, and she no longer concealed her aura.

An ancient and noble pressure, originating from the depths of her bloodline, quietly spread out from Gu Yuena's center.

This pressure wasn't domineering, but it carried a primal majesty that surpassed all beasts, calm and vast.

In an instant, the once calm and mirror-like surface of the Lake of Life began to ripple violently!

It wasn't the wind blowing, but rather the tremors originating from deep within the lake.

First, fine ripples spread rapidly from a certain point in the center of the lake.

Immediately afterwards, the ripples expanded rapidly, turning into surging waves that violently crashed against the lake shore!

The entire island in the middle of the lake began to shake violently, and the pebbles on the ground rolled around.

The tremor was not limited to the center of the lake; rather, it spread rapidly outwards from the edge of the forest, much like seismic waves.

The sight startled countless birds, causing the soul beasts in the outer area to growl in panic and prostrate themselves on the ground, showing awe and submission towards the core area.

"Boom--!"

A deep, thunderous roar came from the depths of the lake, as if some enormous creature was breaking free from its restraints and bursting out of the water!

The lake water was as if it had been violently lifted upwards by an invisible giant hand, forming two huge water curtains!
Water splashes skyward, refracting countless rays of light through the gaps in the trees, yet carrying an overwhelming sense of power.
